Okay, I have to admit I've never been to a IMAX film. Friday was the opening of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and Cory was already asking at like 10am if we could go! :-) Of course, Carie and I were working and I told him we'd have to wait. But as lunch rolled around, I told him we could try to make the 3:40 showing at the IMAX in El Dorado Hills. So I essentially kicked Carie out at 3pm so that Cory and I could go watch a movie on a Friday afternoon. It was awesome! We both agree that it is just as good if not better than the first movie. I was super suprised when we watched the first movie and I found that I liked it a lot. My first experience at IMAX could not have been any better with the effects in this movie!

We're happy to have two real weddings published in the latest issue of Our Wedding. Jolene and Dave were married in December 2008 in a white winter wedding in Tahoe.And Denice and Adam were married in October 2008 in a fall setting at the Coloma Country Inn.

Since we can't meet with Ashlie and Charlie locally, their debut of their album draft is coming to them right here and now!!! Here are few of my favorite pages:Click the below image to begin the slideshow. Enjoy!

Marites and Gil were married just a few weeks back and have just returned to Sacramento from their honeymoon. It couldn't be a better time to show off their extended sneak peak of their wedding photos. Bree and I started the day at their home near Sacramento with a few details shots - this amazing ring shot goes to Bree - I'm severely jealous at how awesome it is!Marina, Marites's daughter, helped with getting dressed. Marites wore an elegant dress and oh my gosh, the best shoes!Outside Cory started with some shots of the ceremony site before guests arrived for the wedding. It was such a perfect day considering we were worried about rainy wedding day photos. The Sacramento sky was just the bluest blue.The thing I love about Gil and Marites from the very start of our friendship was their love for each other and for life. When they talked about their theme "Passion for Love. Passion for Life." I just knew we were meant to cross paths. I revealed to them my mission when I first created The Memory Journalists - to teach others the passion of living. Yep, meant to cross paths. In true spirit of Passion for Life, Gil and Marites sent home a miniture Maple tree as their favor for each guest.There are so many wonderful things to say about this couple. I love their display of emotion and affection for the family and to their friends; they are such a giving couple and you can't help but be touched by them. During the ceremony, Gil and his siblings released a balloon in memory of their mom. The Dolanc String Quartet played and the Vocal Art Ensemble sang. The music selections were meaningful to Gil and Marites and while they listened, a few tears were shed.As sincere and sweet was the ceremony, the tented reception was as fun and full of laughter. The details were remarkable - thanks to Eric of Bacchus Elegant Events and Catering. Celebrations Party Rentals provided much of the decor. Gil shared from his wine cellar - much to my sadness - I didn't partake in the wine tasting. Next time Gil!Their first dance was the best ever! Check out all these amazing dance sequences as their choreographed dance went off without a hitch! Mike of Creative Memories Entertainment kept everyone on the dance floor. The lighting was amazing and really was a testament to how much Mike wants to make every wedding fantastic. Click the below image to begin the slideshow of the wedding day photos. Enjoy!We had the opportunity to work with many topnotch Sacramento wedding vendors: all those mentioned above and one of our favorite videography teams, Steve and Kevin were filming for Jensen Wedding Films. We shot some fun "in action" shots of you guys - we'll be sure to send them your way! And it was our first time working with Pastor Kevin Scruggs - we'll be sure to recommend him to any Sacramento area couples looking for a down to earth officiant. Saul and Michelle made up the amazing hair and make-up team for Marites and the girls.

Carie and I attended the Our Wedding celebration of their new issue release at Cosmo Cafe on Thursday evening. We met up with Monty of All Seasons All Reasons Catering and headed over to share a glass of wine at Fats restaurant and some yummy dinner. It was nice to get catch up with Monty since I didn't get to attend Nace on Tuesday, which I heard was fabulous!

Nace did a tablescape contest for its members to show off their talent. The winning table was a great team: Catriona of Arcularius Events, Sharri Black and team at Studio B, Martha Andrews with Blooms, Sara Hamm with Bella Vita Invitations, and Classic Party Rentals. I borrowed this image from Cat's website to show off their winning table. Way to go girls!There were many other great table designs as well from what I hear. You can check out Lora (A Day to Remember) and Kendra's (Pfeiffer Event Planning) table on Lora's blog. Decadently named "Riviere Chocolat Diamant"...yummy!!!!
